Heat, pulsing through every pore
of skin, opened to the rising climate.

Panting with the panic of inertia,
feel those creepy-crawls erupt
and dig in, a nasty sensation.

Slick, touching through the film I excrete
narrows understanding of potentia.

It's boiling meat, as a lobster screams.

The marrow is melting, lanced to weep,
pour s in, with hope that I'll get to like it.

H:
I like the passion shown in this.  I think you have yes dare I say it "too many words.  I for some reason read it missing some words ie not needed?

I dislike the last line.  the word get is just to simpel or is it too short.

Good work

Thanks Rick.

I'm having trouble understanding why you think I have too many words-is it the rhythm that you don't like? The way you've done it vandalises the grammar. I know that's 'allowed', but in this case, I'm floundering to find the flow without it.

I know what you mean about the last line-there was too many 'ings' already, so 'hoping' got scrapped. I used the 'get to like it' to suggest aquiring a taste for it, but as with all my stuff, the ending is clunky and blunt.

I'll think more about what you say. Thanks again.
